While Memphis Lafferty, 12, of Texas has no hands, he somehow finds a way to maneuver tiny screwdrivers using his mouth to build miniature model skateboards no bigger than the size of a finger.

“He does everything a normal kid does — he just does it differently,” his dad, Chris Lafferty, told InsideEdition.com.

Lafferty, a single dad, explained that from riding skateboards on his stomach to learning how to get around on a hoverboard, Memphis has always had a fascination with skateboards.

When the 12-year-old asked for a Tech Deck Fingerboard kit for Christmas, Lafferty said he was doubtful.

“I’m a big guy, big hands, those things are tiny. I’m like, ‘I can’t build one, I don’t know what to tell you,’” he explained. “He was working with his friend and he just started building them. They’re watching football and he’s on it. I was sitting on the couch, watching him, and I’m like, ‘That’s amazing.’”

Lafferty explained his son had to learn to do everything his own way after a bout of meningitis when he was only 6 months old.

He said Memphis’ lips turned blue, and doctors assured them it was just a minor cold. But hours later, Lafferty said his son’s eyes started rolling into the back of his head.

“I rushed him to the children’s hospital and [doctors] were like, ‘Mr. Lafferty, your son has bacterial meningitis. He has 12 hours to live,'" he recalled.

Instead, Memphis spent three months in the ICU, and had to undergo a quadruple amputation.
